The Resilient Transit Act of 2025 would let state and local agencies use public transportation grants for projects that help transit systems withstand climate change and natural disasters. Eligible work could include flood barriers, flood detection equipment, drainage maintenance, temperature controls, backup power, and planning for emergencies. The bill authorizes $300 million for these grants for fiscal year 2026 and requires annual reports on grant projects.
Transit agencies could use grants to prepare systems for flooding, wildfires, extreme heat, and other hazards. The bill also requires reports to identify projects that benefit or are located in certain underserved and environmental justice communities. The text does not identify specific projects or communities that would receive grants.
The bill authorizes $300 million for fiscal year 2026 for the new grants. It also increases two existing public transportation funding authorization amounts by $300 million each. No other expense information is provided.
